Richard D. Stevens
Interim Director, Natural Science Research Laboratory, Museum of Texas Tech University
Curator of Mammals, Natural Science Research Laboratory, Museum of Texas Tech University
Professor, Department of Natural Resources Management, Texas Tech University
Richard Stevens' research interests lie at the intersection of community ecology, macroecology, and biogeography but are grounded in collections-based research. Part of his work examines the basic community ecology of bats and rodents in Paraguay, California, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Texas, in particular the effects of species environment interactions, dispersal, seasonality and competition on the structure of communities.

Caleb D. Phillips
Interim Assistant Director, Natural Science Research Laboratory, Museum of Texas Tech
University
Curator of Genetic Resources, Natural Science Research Laboratory, Museum of Texas
Tech University
Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences, Texas Tech University
The Phillips laboratory studies metagenomic and genomic evolution underlying mammalian adaptations. Owing to the diversity and uniqueness of bats, most of our current projects utilize chiropteran systems. Read more
Nancy E. McIntyre
Curator of Birds, Natural Science Research Laboratory, Museum of Texas Tech University
Professor, Landscape and Community Ecology, Department of Biological Sciences, Texas
Tech University
Nancy E. McIntyre's research interests include landscape ecology and community ecology in grasslands and urban ecosystems. More specific interests focus on the effects of anthropogenic changes to the environment (especially agriculture and urbanization, the two dominant forms of human land use) on the abundance, diversity, and long-term viability of animals.
